With November upon this years Oscar race is really heating up!  This years buzzworthy films thus far include Inception, The Kids Are Alright, Another Year, Black Swan, The Fighter, True Grit, The Social Network, The King's Speech, Toy Story 3 and 127 Hours.  It turns out Love and Other Drugs starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway that was suppose to have some steam going into the race has fizzled out and fallen flat.  I'm also a little surprised that Welcome to the Riley's isn't being talked about.  Check out an overview of each film after the jump.  So which films did you see so far and what are your thoughts?  Also, are any of these films debatable or are all they all worthy of the Academy's time?
